Careful of the words you use, they are powerful. The hose doesn’t cause cancer, you are blessed and covered in prayer 🙏!!!! Proverbs 18:21 puts it this way: “The tongue has the power of life and death.” The stakes are high. Your words can either speak life, or your words can speak death. Our tongues can build others up, or they can tear them down. I’m learning this daily guys! Love the channel
I have a GREAT idea. Since the exhaust is so SAFE.... please feel free to stick your head on top of it for 2 minutes and breath all the air. You WILL be fine right? Dont rely on tech to keep you safe. If you need to ask the question then VENT it outside PLEASE. After 20years working in a "safe" asbestos mine people eventual said ops not safe but they thought the same thing as you do in the back of your mind. I can come for free and do the work you supply the pipe.
We fill all our cisterns from rain water that comes off our roof. Works much easier than hauling it. Use water filters and uv light to purify it. Good luck and thanks for sharing.
I have been one of your followers since the first day of building your beautiful home .. I appreciate you and love your beautiful family. May God bless you
FYI - Suggest you look at getting 1 or 2 of the Zero G hoses from Walmart. They are drinking water approved and you have no problem rolling and unrolling them. They are black in color and feel like a fabric versus vinyl. They are very lightweight too. We used to have a couple of those white hoses and we now use the Zero G in our 5th Wheel RV with no problem.
Nice Video, thanks. I'm setting up the cabin I bought as well as the addition now to be free of any and all utility companies by the end of this coming summer.
You have great taste,I used on demand hot water heater ,for five years with no problem,the only thing was my son and his wife came to visit I needed help couldn't get him out of the shower,,we sold the place and it's still working as of last year,
Great stuff thanks. And you guys have a great energy, btw. . . prolly all that livin' free! :) Greetings from an expat fellow off-grid-er in the beautiful west of Ireland!
Very informative for those who require info on the water systems at off grid properties. Yes a complete tour would be fantastic, especially for people such as my wife and I who are looking into this great style of living. Cheers guys.
I'm going to be living off-grid pretty soon. I'm excited and a little scared too. I have never been 100% off-grid. Once upon a time I killed my breakers and used solar to power my lights, propane to cook with but I've never been without instant access to water. That's going to be a challenge but if I didn't think I could overcome it then I wouldn't be doing this. I'm a scientist. I built a nuclear fusion reactor (not self sustaining). If it was self sustaining then finding the off switch in a malfunction would be difficult. I've built some weird stuff. This step could be my chance to explore my creativity to the fullest extent. But still, failure is always a possibility..
Nice tour of your water system. It appears there are a lot of projects ahead. You have plans to already change the house interior. Look forward to hearing more. Stay warm.
I laughed so hard when I saw your trailer with the 275 gallon tote, hooked up to a 3rd gen 4Runner. I’m off grid and haul my water in a 275 gallon tote on a utility trailer towed behind my 3rd gen 4Runner!
My family and I pressurized the transport tank to speed up the transfer being carefull not to rupture it. Later we bought a inline 12volt pump frome harbor freight sped things up alot. I miss living offgrid and in Idaho.
Hello first time watching. To make life a little easy when empting your water supply tank on the trailer to your holding black tank. Add a air valve to the fill cap, to the water supply tank to pressurize the tank with compress air. Do not over pressurize the tank, watch and see how fast it empties
A nice white blanket. Its warm below the frostline.....relatively. Spaghetti hose Lol, prostrate problems Y'all keep in shape. That crawl hole is going to get old later. Nice system. I love that water filter. I have to fill it every other day. A great simple system. Good video.
Thanks for the tour, I now have the raw land and will be starting my off grid adventure soon, setting up potable water is one of my first considerations.
A lot of people venting in one form or another would like to say lovely to see you all with a smile on your faces refreshing! Yes would like to see the full tour when the time is convenient to do so thank you, Patrick O' Flaherty it is 3 minutes past midday here you snoring in your beds me typing on my computer. Any chance 4K? Lunchtime soon. Keep on rocking and smiling 💚❤
Dear Johnson family, you should make a short ladder to get down into the basement + hinges for the lid, to prevent possible future accidents when you get older.
Solar thermal is a fun way to make hot water as you can run it fully off sunlight with the collector array and a solar panel to run the pump. The evacuated tube setup is best in a place with snow as it is much harder for large amounts of snow to build up on a round pipe then on a large flat panel.
010921/0936h PST. Like every time.... every time... I am flabbergasted to see see how things are administered meticulously, by the Johnson family. Can I perform, these intricate systems? Yes of course I can 🥴🥴🥴 Err.. I lied. Upon The Almighty... I will not be able to. Every time I watch each episode... my admiration, towards y’all, climb exponentially. I learn from you. Words are few when the heart is full..... thank you Sir, Ma’am and the kids. Stay safe and Bless y’all. 73s...
Awesome video, thank you. When you showed the view of the forest and lake in the background I KNEW you were in North Idaho. My wife and I have land 30 minutes east of Coeur d Alene where we intend to retire. We got an estimate of 28K to drill a well so we decided that we will install a water tank and haul from the public source 9 miles away. I searched UA-cam for "best water tanks for areas that freeze", and there you were. Now I'm going to watch your well drilling videos to see what happened. Hope to see you in noridaho...Geoff and Lynn
(talking to all of you at once) Love the videos! You folks have a super awesome family! This is one of my favorite you-tube channels... Suggestion?. When you make a re-cap or "tour" video... try to add links to the original videos in your series. I found my self fumbling through your vids this morning looking for the origins of this tour... to re-watch. Happy new year!! Hope to be watching you all long into the future!
Thank you for sharing. Gives me hope. Like how your tank is below ground and doesn't freeze. I have something similar. Have to go to family to use number 2 and take shower
In india we put water storage tank on a high platform & water comes to house by gravity,their is no need of pump again & again,hence we store the water at higher level.
Thanks for sharing your life. As most people pointed out.. if i was your son.. i would not like to have the water heater in my bedroom, I think you will not forgive yourself if soemthing happens.. love your channel and would be great to have a full tour. Peace and best reagrds from the Netherlands.
Poor little guy ain't gonna jump down into that basement. That's "The Way to protect plumbing. I hate plumbing and we're all plumbed but only use it in the summer.
Hi guys I just watched your video on drilling for water. We are roughly in the same position as you are. We are just starting. We're on the opposite side of the world to you same weather conditions. Across the way there well is at 54 m We have been told that we might have to drill to 100 m. I hope I truly hope I do not have the trouble that you had drilling for water. Because finances a bit tight at the moment. But again thank you for your video It's great information for us As we're starting down the same road a little bit further away from you 👍 All the best Russell
i have watched a ton of these kind of video's with ether boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife and your wife looks and act's very happy all of the others i watched act but you can see there just putting on a show thanks to the both you
The deep well is MUCH BETTER in the long run. To all the naysayers , try keeping your garden watered during a dry spell in the summer growing season !!! My shallow ( hand dug ) well runs Dry !!!!
Maybe you could build a crude wooden box of the right size, and drop it into the crawlspace, so that when it is time to come back out of the crawlspace, you can use it as a step to get out?
My town has fill stations that would fill that tank in like 3 minutes versus an hour, worth the few dollars. Also, gravity fed...a sump pump works so much faster. Interesting none the less.
As much time as it takes to fill the water tank and drive back and forth you could get a part time job and drill a well and be done with it. Just a thought
Of course it's not frozen; your temp gauge said it was 35 degrees. Let's see if it freezes when the temp hit -20 for three days. Still appreciate the video. Thanks. Note: I have a 1500 gallon tank with the top cut off, buried 4.5 feet for my Goldfish. And only the top inch will freeze when it gets to -10 for one day. I just push down on a 2x3 foot floating plastic solar blanket to break the ice. The extra 1.5 foot deeper does make a big difference. Good luck.
+chas marischen sure the top or our tank freezes a couple of inches when is gets super cold but it doesn’t effect its performance. Water is taken from the bottom of the tank.

You need to vent the hot water heater btw
It will cause issues if you don't I believe

also things like that NEED to be vented outside

One of the best step by step videos on how off grid water works start to finish. Thanks for sharing!
watching stuff like this is actually satisfing
Yesss!!! to the cabin tour. I really Love your family and Thank you for sharing your family with us. God Bless
Thanks!
I am in my sixties and have drank out of a green water hose all my life and I am still living and with no cancer.
I have too but the hoses we get are palatable type hose, there is hoses that's contains bad elements like lead and chemicals.
Hose water is so good. Kind of nostalgic lol kids now wouldn't understand.
Yes ,cabin tour 🎉
Take some scrap lumber and build a couple of steps so and your SO can easily step into the crawl space and easily get back up.
I have been one of your followers since the first day of building your beautiful home .. I appreciate you and love your beautiful family. May God bless you
Yes please for the cabin tour.
You people are living the American dream, keep on going!
Thank you so much for the video. Now I have some great info to run with... Smiles and blessings...
That's a great way of living especially with a beautiful outdoorsy wife.
Yes Would Love to see a Cabin Tour as well.
This is so amazing and encouraging

I hauled my own water for many years. It’s a real pain. Now I have the water delivered.
Great video. Yes cabin tour please. God Bless you all!

Idea! Put a stool in the crawl space for petter egress. Also a place to escape and smoke cigars.
We would love to see a full tour. Secretly we have been taking notes for a while. We are loving your journey so far, and we love Idaho.
Yes I would love to see how everything looks....you guys
Yes cabin tour please....really great job on the your place...love ya'll.
Yes,Please
Thank you!
Thank you!
The aerial overview is a great way to see where you are loosing all the heat in your house. Your roof leaks quite a bit of warmth!
it is a 9-12 pitch. snow slides easy. the garage is only 6-12.
I'm going to be living off-grid pretty soon. I'm excited and a little scared too. I have never been 100% off-grid.

I was reminded to vote yes on the full cabin tour offer. LOL. Thank you again
We used to have lead pipes so I'm sure your green hose is fine.😃👍
Nice tour of your water system. It appears there are a lot of projects ahead. You have plans to already change the house interior. Look forward to hearing more.
Stay warm.
Thanks. Yes, more videos to come! 😊
Yes Would Love to see a Cabin Tour
Yes on the cabin tour! I would love to see it!
Awesome!
Very nice and better then TV shows.
4:40 "prostate problem", pak martin so funny 😂
You might look at Zero-G water hoses. Much more flexible compared to your white and green hose and they are approved for drinking water.
I didnt hurt me my years or drinking out the hose pipe
@@Oink09 You ever hear of something called “survivor bias”?
@@loganc6818 no
You guys are lucky to have a supply of free water available.
I laughed so hard when I saw your trailer with the 275 gallon tote, hooked up to a 3rd gen 4Runner. I’m off grid and haul my water in a 275 gallon tote on a utility trailer towed behind my 3rd gen 4Runner!
And stiff hoses really are a pain in mid-winter, Vermont.
Strong woman, wonderfull family....
My family and I pressurized the transport tank to speed up the transfer being carefull not to rupture it. Later we bought a inline 12volt pump frome harbor freight sped things up alot. I miss living offgrid and in Idaho.
You have came so far with your new property and home build. Well done.
Hello first time watching. To make life a little easy when empting your water supply tank on the trailer to your holding black tank. Add a air valve to the fill cap, to the water supply tank to pressurize the tank with compress air. Do not over pressurize the tank, watch and see how fast it empties
Have you ever thought of making a rain catchment system. To avoid going into town getting water. Then transferring from one tank to another???
That's what i was wondering....
Yes! I've been really curious about the cabin!
A nice white blanket.
Its warm below the frostline.....relatively.
Spaghetti hose
Lol, prostrate problems
Y'all keep in shape. That crawl hole is going to get old later.
Nice system.
I love that water filter. I have to fill it every other day. A great simple system.

Simply wonderful....I hope to do something similar sometime.... maybe Scotland 😊🏴
I recommend a quick-connect for all your hose connections.
YES, we want an entire cabin tour
Dear Johnson family, you should make a short ladder to get down into the basement + hinges for the lid, to prevent possible future accidents when you get older.
Put strengthened guttering on house and barn and connect to rainwater tank. No more trips to town multiple times . God bless.
Solar thermal is a fun way to make hot water as you can run it fully off sunlight with the collector array and a solar panel to run the pump. The evacuated tube setup is best in a place with snow as it is much harder for large amounts of snow to build up on a round pipe then on a large flat panel.

Coming soon!

Hello my friends I congratulate you as a very beautiful, wonderful and creative family I wish you a happy life.🖐️🖐️🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪🌹🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍👍👍
As kids that green hose was all there was back them and we all drank from them. Still here.

I think we said it was temporary. but maybe we forgot to say it.
If you ever search for the correct way to wind up cables, that method also applies to house pipe too and keeps it tangle free 👍🏼

Pretty luxury living for 'off grid'...
Enjoying the content nontheless.
living free. what a concept. when will people learn.
Greetings keep up the great job... make a hill next to the water tank so you can back the trailer next to the water tank... no green hose :)
Hi Guy's I just hear about a brand new invention that really rocks: A "Latte" Yeahhh
Yes a full cabin tour please

Transferring water from IBC to storage tank can easily done by syphoning (by gravity).
Awesome video thank you
Sure. Give us the complete cabin tour.
wow, super life! a wonderful world! a good thought!
Love your channel! Yes, would love a full tour! Just keep doing what you are doing with your projects! See you next time!
